Dreaming serves to protect the brain’s visual cortex from being overtaken by other sensory inputs. The brain’s peak ...

Scientists studying brain process involved in sight have found the visual cortex also uses information gleaned from the ears as well as the eyes when viewing the world. They suggest this auditory ...

Understanding how the human brain represents the information picked up by the senses is a longstanding objective of neuroscience and psychology studies. Most past studies focusing on the visual cortex ...

Does the deaf brain "see" with its ears? New research shows the auditory cortex maps visual space through selective ...

The team utilized the brain’s contralateral processing, in which visual information from one field is processed by the opposite hemisphere. By presenting visual stimuli to only the left or right side ...

A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow ...

Researchers at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders (NERF), led by Prof. Vincent Bonin, have published two new studies uncovering how visual information is processed and distributed in the brain. The ...

The 1950s were a relatively rudimentary era for experimental neurophysiology. Recording the electrical activity of neurons wasn’t uncommon, but the methods often demanded considerable patience and ...
